KSMBD - SMB3 Kernel Server
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
KSMBD is a linux kernel server which implements SMB3 protocol in kernel space
|
|
for sharing files over network.
|
|
|
|
KSMBD architecture
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
The subset of performance related operations belong in kernelspace and
|
|
the other subset which belong to operations which are not really related with
|
|
performance in userspace. So, DCE/RPC management that has historically resulted
|
|
into number of buffer overflow issues and dangerous security bugs and user
|
|
account management are implemented in user space as ksmbd.mountd.
|
|
File operations that are related with performance (open/read/write/close etc.)
|
|
in kernel space (ksmbd). This also allows for easier integration with VFS
|
|
interface for all file operations.
|
|
|
|
ksmbd (kernel daemon)
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
When the server daemon is started, It starts up a forker thread
|
|
(ksmbd/interface name) at initialization time and open a dedicated port 445
|
|
for listening to SMB requests. Whenever new clients make request, Forker
|
|
thread will accept the client connection and fork a new thread for dedicated
|
|
communication channel between the client and the server. It allows for parallel
|
|
processing of SMB requests(commands) from clients as well as allowing for new
|
|
clients to make new connections. Each instance is named ksmbd/1~n(port number)
|
|
to indicate connected clients. Depending on the SMB request types, each new
|
|
thread can decide to pass through the commands to the user space (ksmbd.mountd),
|
|
currently DCE/RPC commands are identified to be handled through the user space.
|
|
To further utilize the linux kernel, it has been chosen to process the commands
|
|
as workitems and to be executed in the handlers of the ksmbd-io kworker threads.
|
|
It allows for multiplexing of the handlers as the kernel take care of initiating
|
|
extra worker threads if the load is increased and vice versa, if the load is
|
|
decreased it destroys the extra worker threads. So, after connection is
|
|
established with client. Dedicated ksmbd/1..n(port number) takes complete
|
|
ownership of receiving/parsing of SMB commands. Each received command is worked
|
|
in parallel i.e., There can be multiple clients commands which are worked in
|
|
parallel. After receiving each command a separated kernel workitem is prepared
|
|
for each command which is further queued to be handled by ksmbd-io kworkers.
|
|
So, each SMB workitem is queued to the kworkers. This allows the benefit of load
|
|
sharing to be managed optimally by the default kernel and optimizing client
|
|
performance by handling client commands in parallel.
|
|
|
|
ksmbd.mountd (user space daemon)
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
ksmbd.mountd is userspace process to, transfer user account and password that
|
|
are registered using ksmbd.adduser (part of utils for user space). Further it
|
|
allows sharing information parameters that parsed from smb.conf to ksmbd in
|
|
kernel. For the execution part it has a daemon which is continuously running
|
|
and connected to the kernel interface using netlink socket, it waits for the
|
|
requests (dcerpc and share/user info). It handles RPC calls (at a minimum few
|
|
dozen) that are most important for file server from NetShareEnum and
|
|
NetServerGetInfo. Complete DCE/RPC response is prepared from the user space
|
|
and passed over to the associated kernel thread for the client.

====================
|
|
|
|
============================== =================================================
|
|
Feature name Status
|
|
============================== =================================================
|
|
Dialects Supported. SMB2.1 SMB3.0, SMB3.1.1 dialects
|
|
(intentionally excludes security vulnerable SMB1
|
|
dialect).
|
|
Auto Negotiation Supported.
|
|
Compound Request Supported.
|
|
Oplock Cache Mechanism Supported.
|
|
SMB2 leases(v1 lease) Supported.
|
|
Directory leases(v2 lease) Supported.
|
|
Multi-credits Supported.
|
|
NTLM/NTLMv2 Supported.
|
|
HMAC-SHA256 Signing Supported.
|
|
Secure negotiate Supported.
|
|
Signing Update Supported.
|
|
Pre-authentication integrity Supported.
|
|
SMB3 encryption(CCM, GCM) Supported. (CCM/GCM128 and CCM/GCM256 supported)
|
|
SMB direct(RDMA) Supported.
|
|
SMB3 Multi-channel Partially Supported. Planned to implement
|
|
replay/retry mechanisms for future.
|
|
Receive Side Scaling mode Supported.
|
|
SMB3.1.1 POSIX extension Supported.
|
|
ACLs Partially Supported. only DACLs available, SACLs
|
|
(auditing) is planned for the future. For
|
|
ownership (SIDs) ksmbd generates random subauth
|
|
values(then store it to disk) and use uid/gid
|
|
get from inode as RID for local domain SID.
|
|
The current acl implementation is limited to
|
|
standalone server, not a domain member.
|
|
Integration with Samba tools is being worked on
|
|
to allow future support for running as a domain
|
|
member.
|
|
Kerberos Supported.
|
|
Durable handle v1,v2 Planned for future.
|
|
Persistent handle Planned for future.
|
|
SMB2 notify Planned for future.
|
|
Sparse file support Supported.
|
|
DCE/RPC support Partially Supported. a few calls(NetShareEnumAll,
|
|
NetServerGetInfo, SAMR, LSARPC) that are needed
|
|
for file server handled via netlink interface
|
|
from ksmbd.mountd. Additional integration with
|
|
Samba tools and libraries via upcall is being
|
|
investigated to allow support for additional
|
|
DCE/RPC management calls (and future support
|
|
for Witness protocol e.g.)
|
|
ksmbd/nfsd interoperability Planned for future. The features that ksmbd
|
|
support are Leases, Notify, ACLs and Share modes.
|
|
SMB3.1.1 Compression Planned for future.
|
|
SMB3.1.1 over QUIC Planned for future.
|
|
Signing/Encryption over RDMA Planned for future.
|
|
SMB3.1.1 GMAC signing support Planned for future.

How to run
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
1. Download ksmbd-tools(https://github.com/cifsd-team/ksmbd-tools/releases) and
|
|
compile them.
|
|
|
|
- Refer README(https://github.com/cifsd-team/ksmbd-tools/blob/master/README.md)
|
|
to know how to use ksmbd.mountd/adduser/addshare/control utils
|
|
|
|
$ ./autogen.sh
|
|
$ ./configure --with-rundir=/run
|
|
$ make && sudo make install
|
|
|
|
2. Create /usr/local/etc/ksmbd/ksmbd.conf file, add SMB share in ksmbd.conf file.
|
|
|
|
- Refer ksmbd.conf.example in ksmbd-utils, See ksmbd.conf manpage
|
|
for details to configure shares.
|
|
|
|
$ man ksmbd.conf
|
|
|
|
3. Create user/password for SMB share.
|
|
|
|
- See ksmbd.adduser manpage.
|
|
|
|
$ man ksmbd.adduser
|
|
$ sudo ksmbd.adduser -a <Enter USERNAME for SMB share access>
|
|
|
|
4. Insert ksmbd.ko module after build your kernel. No need to load module
|
|
if ksmbd is built into the kernel.
|
|
|
|
- Set ksmbd in menuconfig(e.g. $ make menuconfig)
|
|
[*] Network File Systems --->
|
|
<M> SMB3 server support (EXPERIMENTAL)
|
|
|
|
$ sudo modprobe ksmbd.ko
|
|
|
|
5. Start ksmbd user space daemon
|
|
|
|
$ sudo ksmbd.mountd
|
|
|
|
6. Access share from Windows or Linux using SMB3 client (cifs.ko or smbclient of samba)
|
|
|
|
Shutdown KSMBD
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
1. kill user and kernel space daemon
|
|
# sudo ksmbd.control -s
|
|
|
|
How to turn debug print on
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Each layer
|
|
/sys/class/ksmbd-control/debug
|
|
|
|
1. Enable all component prints
|
|
# sudo ksmbd.control -d "all"
|
|
|
|
2. Enable one of components (smb, auth, vfs, oplock, ipc, conn, rdma)
|
|
# sudo ksmbd.control -d "smb"
|
|
|
|
3. Show what prints are enabled.
|
|
# cat /sys/class/ksmbd-control/debug
|
|
[smb] auth vfs oplock ipc conn [rdma]
|
|
|
|
4. Disable prints:
|
|
If you try the selected component once more, It is disabled without brackets.
